My MBP has been acting all sorts of messed up for a while now and I have decided to wipe the system and do a clean install of leopard. I was wondering if there was a way to backup my mails settings so I could plug them back into my new system and have all of my emails, contacts, and folders still be there. Does anyone know how to do this?
Got a tip for us?

You have to copy the following:
1. Users/user/Library/Mail - the folder
2. Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist - the file
And then you put them there again after you finished re-installing.
